answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2020 answer text <p>My Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade and I have been sorry to see the violence that has taken place in the United States of America.</p><p> </p><p>All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (‘Consolidated Criteria’). In reaching a decision, the Department for International Trade receives advice from a number of Departments including the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Together, we draw on all available information, including reports from NGOs and our diplomatic missions. The Consolidated Criteria provides a thorough risk assessment framework and requires us to think hard about the impact of exporting any equipment. These are not decisions my Department takes lightly, and we will not license the export of items where to do so would be inconsistent with the Consolidated Criteria.</p><p> </p><p>Any licence granted by my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade may be subject to conditions. In addition, in line with the Consolidated Criteria, my Department is able to review licences – and suspend or revoke as necessary – when circumstances require. There are currently <del class="ministerial">nine</del> <ins class="ministerial">eight </ins>extant licences that may be linked to law enforcement agencies. Six are Open Individual Export Licences (‘OIELs’), which have potential end users that include law enforcement agencies. <del class="ministerial">Three</del> <ins class="ministerial">Two </ins>are Standard Individual Export Licences (‘SIELs’), which have numerous potential end users that include law enforcement agencies. There are also 15 Open General Licences (‘OGLs’) for which businesses can register that cover the export of anti-riot gear.</p><p> </p><p>Much information is in the public domain already. We publish information on all export licences issued, refused and revoked on a quarterly and annual basis as official statistics on GOV.UK – at: gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data – and whilst data on actual exports is not required to be centrally held, the licences issued until the end of December 2019 are available.</p> answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena question first answered 08/06/2020 17:02:49 question first ministerially corrected 15/06/2020 09:18:02 answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena previous answer version 26646 answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena
